Then you&#8217;ve come to the right place. Here, you&#8217;ll find an easy way to dissolve gout crystals.</p><p>So-called &#8216;gout crystals&#8217; are actually needle-like crystals formed out of high uric acid levels in the blood. With high uric acid levels, over a period of time, urate crystals form and are deposited in your joints, tendons and surrounding tissue.</p><p>Your body&#8217;s defenses see these as &#8216;foreign&#8217; bodies that need to be attacked. And so your natural inflammatory defenses flood the affected area. It&#8217;s this reaction that causes your gout symptoms; swelling, redness, inflammation, stiffness, heat, and excruciating pain of course!</p><p>In order to eliminate the symptoms you need to reduce the inflammation and relieve the pain, plus, get rid of the crystals as quickly as possible. The way you do that is to dissolve the gout crystals so that they can be more easily flushed out of your system by your kidneys via urine.</p><p>But here&#8217;s the thing; not only do you need to get rid of the symptoms because of the pain, you really must prevent future gout attacks. Because frequent gout attacks over time can cause you to suffer from permanent joint damage and / or kidney problems like kidney stones, etc.</p><p>And, yes, drug-based treatments are effective in doing both these things. But they can have severe side effects such as nausea, vomiting, stomach cramps, diarrhea, headaches, allergic reactions, and more.</p><p>And, in terms of preventing future attacks by lowering, and keeping low, levels of uric acid in your blood, they have to be taken long term. This is because these drugs only work while you are on them.</p><p>This is why so very many gout victims are looking to totally natural ways to both get rid of the symptoms of a gout attack, and, prevent recurring gout.</p><p>As you saw above, during a gout attack, you need to dissolve gout crystals and flush them from your body. So how do you do this naturally, without drugs with their harmful side effects, and cost?</p><p>Well, there are many natural home remedies for gout that act by dissolving gout crystals, but here is one that many sufferers swear by&#8230;</p><p>HOW TO DISSOLVE GOUT CRYSTALS USING BAKING SODA</p><p>Yes, something that you probably already have lying in a kitchen cupboard can help to get rid of gout by dissolving the crystals causing it.</p><p>Baking soda &#8212; bicarbonate of soda &#8212; can help to reduce the symptoms pretty quickly, depending on the severity of the attack.</p><p>It can dissolve the crystals, increase the solubility of uric acid to help it be excreted more easily, and, maximise body fluids to aid your kidneys in flushing uric acid out of your system.</p><p>To take, just add 1/2 teaspoon to an 8oz glass of water and stir thoroughly. Drink a glass before bedtime, one in the morning, and then a glass every 2 to 4 hours between meals. Continue daily until your symptoms abate.</p><p>Caution: Don&#8217;t use this remedy if you have high blood pressure, or at least, consult your doctor for advice before attempting it. And even if you don&#8217;t have high blood pressure, change to a salt-free diet during treatment as baking soda is very high in sodium.</p><p>Now of course this simple remedy should only be taken during an attack. What it can&#8217;t do is prevent the recurring gout that can eventually lead to permanent damage. This has to be tackled in a different way.</p><p>You&#8217;re in luck though. There&#8217;s a special gout report available online that has all the information you need in one place. It is what thousands of ex-gout victims worldwide have successfully used to prevent their gout returning. It also contains a special 2 hour gout pain relief program.</p><p>And it uses fully-researched, totally natural methods. So that you benefit two ways: (1) you get rid of your excruciating pain very fast, and, (2) you prevent your gout returning, so that you reduce the risk of permanent damage.</p><p>If you want to get <a rel="nofollow" href="http://gout-relief-today.blogspot.com/">gout pain relief in 2 hours</a>, plus, prevent your gout returning in the future, then go to <a rel="nofollow" href="http://gout-relief-today.blogspot.com/">http://gout-relief-today.blogspot.com</a> and discover how you can quickly do both without expensive drugs with their horrible side effects.</p><p><span>The author constantly researches health issues then writes reports on his findings so that you are perhaps more aware of the facts, and then, better able to make an informed decision on your choice of treatment and cure. Remember to always consult your doctor first. </span></p><p><span><strong>Discover how I banished my gout without drugs. <a title="the Gout Remedy Report with 2 Hour Relief Program" href="http://www.thegoutsite.com/go/gout-remedy-report/" target="_blank">Click here</a>.</strong></span></p><p><span><a rel="dofollow" href="http://www.articlesbase.com/diseases-and-conditions-articles/how-to-dissolve-gout-crystals-naturally-and-cure-your-gout-attack-fast-2142925.html" target="_blank">Article Source</a></span><br /><h3 class='related_post_title'>Related Gout Articles:</h3><ul class='related_post'><li><a href='http://www.thegoutsite.com/gout-uric-acid/uric-acid-therapy' title='Uric Acid Therapy to Get Rid of Gout'>Uric Acid Therapy to Get Rid of Gout</a></li><li><a href='http://www.thegoutsite.com/gout-cures/how-liquid-intake-causes-affects-helps-cure-gout' title='How Liquid Intake Causes / Affects / Helps Cure Gout?'>How Liquid Intake Causes / Affects / Helps Cure Gout?</a></li><li><a href='http://www.thegoutsite.com/natural-gout-remedies/gout-in-the-knee-is-very-painful' title='Gout In The Knee Is Very Painful'>Gout In The Knee Is Very Painful</a></li><li><a href='http://www.thegoutsite.com/natural-gout-remedies/how-do-i-get-rid-of-gout-pain-fast-and-naturally' title='How Do I Get Rid Of Gout Pain Fast And Naturally?'>How Do I Get Rid Of Gout Pain Fast And Naturally?</a></li><li><a href='http://www.thegoutsite.com/gout-medication/gout-therapies-from-your-physician' title='Gout Therapies From Your Physician'>Gout Therapies From Your Physician</a></li><li><a href='http://www.thegoutsite.com/natural-gout-remedies/how-to-stop-gout-pain-naturally-a-scrumptious-strawberry-and-pineapple-mix' title='How To Stop Gout Pain Naturally &#8211;

But you can do this without drugs. Discover here, how to remove gout crystals with a secret natural remedy you probably already have in your kitchen cupboard.</p><p>Gout crystals are in fact uric acid crystals that have been formed through the presence of high uric acid levels in your bloodstream. Removing or dissolving these crystals is one of your first priorities in order to relieve your symptoms and reduce the pain of your gout.</p><p>The usual treatment for getting rid of gout symptoms are drug-based medications such as NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs), colchicines and corticosteroids. However, they do have some pretty nasty side effects; nausea, vomiting, stomach cramps, diarrhea, etc. So more and more gout sufferers are using natural ways to remove their gout crystals.</p><p>And a surprisingly effective natural remedy is bicarbonate of soda, better known as baking soda! You probably have some of this stuff sitting in a kitchen cupboard right now. If not then get out there and buy some, you&#8217;ll be so glad you did&#8230;</p><p>Baking soda can help to dissolve your gout uric acid crystals, helps your kidneys to flush excess uric acid out of your body, and increases the solubility of uric acid to again help in the flushing process. It can also help to reduce the risk of kidney stones due to chronic gout.</p><p>Here&#8217;s how to take it&#8230;</p><p>Just put half of a teaspoon into a large glass of water and stir well. Drink a cup before bedtime, one as soon as you get up in the morning, and a cup every two to four hours in-between meals. But, don&#8217;t consume more than four teaspoons of baking soda a day; equivalent to eight cups per day.</p><p>Also, make sure you change to a salt-free diet while you&#8217;re taking this home remedy, as baking soda is very high in sodium. And if you suffer from high blood pressure don&#8217;t attempt this remedy until you talk to your doctor and they give you the all-clear.</p><p>I&#8217;ve tried this many times before I finally got my gout under control, and it seemed to work fine for me&#8230;</p><p>But talking about getting gout under control, that&#8217;s something that all gout sufferers need to do. Did you realize that chronic gout (recurring gout) can cause serious joint damage and kidney problems over time? And that once having had just one gout attack you&#8217;re now at a much higher risk of having more?</p><p>Now, natural gout remedies like baking soda, whilst very good at removing gout symptoms, cannot help you prevent further attacks. You need to take many other factors into consideration; diet, your weight, lifestyle, and several more in order to achieve your final goal.

The vast majority of cases of gout occur in the main joint of the big toe, but gout can appear in almost any joint in the body, including your ankles, knees, hands, fingers, elbow, etc.</p><p>Many folks refer to it as &#8216;uric acid&#8217; pain because they are aware that gout is caused by the formation of crystals in the joints and connective tissue (e.g. in your big toe). These can form when you have <a title="High Uric Acid Symptoms - 5 Easy Tips to Reduce Uric Acid Symptoms" href="http://www.thegoutsite.com/gout-uric-acid/high-uric-acid-symptoms-5-easy-tips-to-reduce-uric-acid-symptoms" target="_self">high uric acid</a> levels in your bloodstream.</p><p>These gout crystals are needle-like in nature when seen through a microscope. Your body&#8217;s defenses recognise them as &#8216;foreign&#8217; objects and a natural defence mechanism is set in motion, which produces the symptoms of gout such as, redness, inflammation, stiffness, swelling, heat, and unbearable pain.</p><p>You can get rid of the pain and other symptoms through medications prescribed by your doctor like NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs), colchicines and /or corticosteroids. But gout sufferers are increasingly searching for more natural methods to get rid of their &#8216;uric acid&#8217; pain, because of the number of quite horrible side effects that drug-based medications have.</p><p>During an attack you have to start from the view that you have uric acid crystals in your big toe (for example), and, high uric acid levels in the blood. So you need to get rid of the crystals and reduce your acid levels. And you can do both using natural remedies for gout. Here are 3 simple tips on how to get rid of gout pain&#8230;</p><p><strong>(1)  Drink Water to Help Flush Uric Acid and Uric Acid Crystals From Your Body</strong></p><p>Drink loads of water. Water is absolutely vital to your body&#8217;s correct functioning. With a well-hydrated body you have a much better chance of getting rid of your gout, and, helping prevent gout.</p><p>By drinking plenty of water you are helping your body prevent uric acid crystal formation, plus, helping to flush gout crystals out of your body where they have formed.</p><p>You should drink a minimum of 12 x 8oz glasses of water every single day.</p><p><strong>(2) Baking Soda Can Also Get Rid of Uric Acid Crystals From Your Body</strong></p><p>Baking soda (bicarbonate of soda) is a very effective way to dissolve crystals and so help reduce the pain of a gout attack. And it can also increase uric acid solubility so that your kidneys can more easily expel excess acid out of your system.</p><p>To take, just add one half of a teaspoon of baking soda to eight ounces of water in a glass and stir well until the powder had completely dissolved. Drink a glass first thing in the morning, one every 2 to 4 hours during the day, then one last thing before bedtime. Do this daily until your symptoms have abated.</p><p>You need to stop putting salt on your food, and, change to a low sodium diet whilst taking this remedy, because of the high sodium levels already in baking soda. And if you have hypertension, you should consult your doctor before attempting this remedy.</p><p><strong>(3) Cherries Can Lower Uric Acid, Reduce Inflammation and Relieve Pain</strong></p><p>Cherries contain &#8216;anthocyanins&#8217; which have natural anti-inflammatory properties.  So they are excellent during a gout attack. But research has also shown that they can actually lower uric acid levels in the blood.</p><p>Some researchers have suggested that eating 20 cherries every day is more or less the same as taking an NSAID. But there is still a variance in terms of the optimum to take per day. <a title="The Gout Remedy Report" href="http://e86f3bncr26oltadgd-ku1qrzv.hop.clickbank.net/?tid=GOUT1WP" target="_blank">The Gout Remedy Report</a> suggests the following; 30 to 40 cherries every 4 hours during a gout attack. If this is too much at each &#8216;sitting&#8217; then you gout eat 8 to 10 each hour.</p><p>So there you have it, 3 simple ways to get rid of uric acid pain in your big toe, or any other joint for that matter! And I have personally used all three and found the combination to be very effective. See how you get on&#8230;</p><p>In the meantime, don&#8217;t forget that you also need to work on prevention, as well as curing your present attack. This is vital because of the potential permanent damage to joints and possible kidney problems associated with frequent gout attacks over time. So you need to consider things like your diet, lifestyle, weight, family history, etc.</p><p>If you want to find out more about this really important aspect, then go here -&gt; <a title="The Gout Remedy Report" href="http://e86f3bncr26oltadgd-ku1qrzv.hop.clickbank.net/?tid=GOUT1WP" target="_blank">The Gout Remedy Report</a> &lt;- It&#8217;s got everything in one place for you.<br /><h3 class='related_post_title'>Related Gout Articles:</h3><ul class='related_post'><li><a href='http://www.thegoutsite.com/gout-uric-acid/uric-acid-symptoms-5-simple-tips-to-ditch-your-uric-acid-symptoms-of-gout' title='Uric Acid Symptoms &#8211;

They form in your joints, tendons and surrounding tissue to cause the agonizing symptoms of gout.</p><p>Uric acid is produced by the breakdown of &#8216;purines&#8217; in your body&#8217;s cells and in your food. These are important chemical compounds that help convert genes to protein, food to energy, aid muscle contraction, get rid of excess nitrogen from your cells, and protect them from cancer causing agents.</p><p>Normally, your kidneys process the uric acid produced in your blood, retain sufficient for your body&#8217;s beneficial needs (e.g. looking after your blood vessels&#8217; linings, etc.), and flush the excess waste out of your system through your urine.</p><p>Unfortunately, sometimes your kidneys just can&#8217;t excrete enough uric acid, quickly enough from your body and so you end up with an excess amount of uric acid circulating in your bloodstream, causing the high levels that can form gout crystals in your joints.</p><p>A very natural way to remove gout crystals is by drinking lots of water everyday. In this way you keep your body well-hydrated. This is very important because gout crystals are more difficult to form if your body is well-hydrated.</p><p>So by drinking sufficient amounts of water regularly you are effectively helping to prevent gout crystal formation. In addition, drinking water in this way also helps your kidneys to process and flush uric acid out of your body. Thus helping to reduce the high uric acid levels that are needed to produce the gout crystals in the first place.</p><p>You need to drink at least 12 x 8 ounce glasses of water on a daily basis. This needs to be taken regularly over the day. For example a glass every hour or so.</p><p>If you want to read more about how to <a title="The Gout Remedy Report" href="http://www.thegoutsite.com/recommends-the-gout-remedy-report">remove gout crystals</a> and prevent your gout returning, please click <a title="The Gout Remedy Report" href="http://www.thegoutsite.com/recommends-the-gout-remedy-report">here</a>.<br /><h3 class='related_post_title'>Related Gout Articles:</h3><ul class='related_post'><li><a href='http://www.thegoutsite.com/eliminate-gout/how-to-eliminate-gout-naturally-without-medication' title='How to Eliminate Gout Naturally Without Medication'>How to Eliminate Gout Naturally Without Medication</a></li><li><a href='http://www.thegoutsite.com/natural-gout-remedies/how-to-stop-gout-pain-naturally-a-scrumptious-strawberry-and-pineapple-mix' title='How To Stop Gout Pain Naturally &#8211;

And many people with gout are now using natural remedies to achieve this, without the horrible side effects of drug-based medications.</p><p>There are natural remedies that can actually dissolve gout crystals, so that they are more easily flushed from your body. There are others which can &#8216;neutralize&#8217; high uric acid so that the risk of crystals being formed is lessened&#8230;  </p><p><strong>Alfalfa </strong>is full of minerals and nutrients, and, has been shown to lower uric acid levels in the bloodstream.</p><p><strong>Nettle </strong>contains alkaloids which can help neutralize uric acid.</p><p><strong>Parsley</strong> is a natural diuretic which helps your kidneys flush uric acid from your body.</p><p><strong>Vitamin C</strong> has been shown to reduce uric acid levels in the blood, so eat plenty fruit.</p><p><strong>Bicarbonate of Soda</strong> can dissolve gout crystals and help make uric acid more soluble, so that it&#8217;s easier to flush out. Use 1/2 teaspoon in 8oz of water. One glass before bed, one in the morning, and, one every two to four hours.</p><p>Note: No more than four teaspoons a day. Stop when the symptoms have abated. Change to a salt-free diet while using it. And don&#8217;t use if you suffer from hypertension.</p><p><strong>Water</strong> can help to prevent the formation of gout crystals by keeping you well hydrated. And it helps your kidneys flush excess uric acid out of your body. Drink at least 12 x 8oz glasses of water every day.</p><p>These can all help to eliminate gout crystals during an attack and so relieve the symptoms of gout. But, unless you have a plan to lower and maintain low levels of uric acid longer term, you run the risk of suffering recurring gout.</p><p>Frequent gout episodes can have pretty serious consequences later on, things like permanently damaged joints and even kidney problems. And if you&#8217;ve had one gout attack you are at a very high risk of having more.</p><p><strong>To get more information on this please go to:- <a title="Fast Gout Relief" href="http://gout-relief-today.blogspot.com">Gout Relief Today</a> </strong><br /><h3 class='related_post_title'>Related Gout Articles:</h3><ul class='related_post'><li><a href='http://www.thegoutsite.com/gout-uric-acid/high-uric-acid-and-gout' title='High Uric Acid and Gout'>High Uric Acid and Gout</a></li><li><a href='http://www.thegoutsite.com/gout-uric-acid/uric-acid-symptoms-5-simple-tips-to-ditch-your-uric-acid-symptoms-of-gout' title='Uric Acid Symptoms &#8211; 5 Simple Tips to Ditch Your Uric Acid Symptoms of Gout'>Uric Acid Symptoms &#8211; 5 Simple Tips to Ditch Your Uric Acid Symptoms of Gout</a></li><li><a href='http://www.thegoutsite.com/get-rid-of-gout/gout-major-symptoms' title='Gout &#8211; Major Symptoms, Causes and Treatment'>Gout &#8211; Major Symptoms, Causes and Treatment</a></li><li><a href='http://www.thegoutsite.com/get-rid-of-gout/how-to-stop-gout-in-5-easy-steps' title='How to Stop Gout in 5 Easy Steps'>How to Stop Gout in 5 Easy Steps</a></li><li><a href='http://www.thegoutsite.com/gout-crystals/how-to-get-rid-of-uric-acid-pain-in-your-big-toe' title='How to Get Rid of Uric Acid Pain in Your Big Toe Naturally'>How to Get Rid of Uric Acid Pain in Your Big Toe Naturally</a></li><li><a href='http://www.thegoutsite.com/gout-pain-relief/fast-gout-relief-with-baking-soda' title='Fast Gout Relief With Baking Soda'>Fast Gout Relief With Baking Soda</a></li><li><a href='http://www.thegoutsite.com/gout-uric-acid/high-uric-acid-symptoms-5-easy-tips-to-reduce-uric-acid-symptoms' title='High Uric Acid Symptoms &#8211; 5 Easy Tips to Reduce Uric Acid Symptoms '>High Uric Acid Symptoms &#8211; 5 Easy Tips to Reduce Uric Acid Symptoms </a></li><li><a href='http://www.thegoutsite.com/what-is-gout/what-is-gout-a-simple-guide-to-what-gout-is' title='What is Gout?
